and I know for a fact that every deep conversation, every song, every book, every walk in nature, every ten second reflection while the coffee brews, every cry session, every laugh, every notes app rant, and every indulgence is revealing the next layer of yourself that you haven't met yet. and sometimes that is scary, other times beautiful — yet very necessary so that your soul and mind and belief is challenged and it rebirths itself with much more clear sense of what you are.

it terrifies me how doom scrolling is going to delay this process in most of us.

"the most shocking thing about my time over there was how uncomplicated it actually is. Now, I’m not saying the details of it are not complicated. History is always complicated. Present events are always complicated. But the way this is reported in the Western media is as though one needs a Ph.D. in Middle Eastern studies to understand the basic morality of holding a people in a situation in which they don’t have basic rights, including the right that we treasure most, the franchise, the right to vote, and then declaring that state a democracy. It’s actually not that hard to understand. It’s actually quite familiar to those of us with a familiarity to African American history."

- Ta-Nehisi Coates

In May, US polo team captain Maggie Steffens asked for financial help on Instagram. Flavor Flav – William Jonathan Drayton Jr – answered the call: “As a girl dad and supporter of all women’s sports, imma personally sponsor you, my girl, whatever you need. And imma sponsor the whole team.”

Flav signed a five-year sponsorship deal to “elevate the visibility and excitement surrounding water polo in the United States.” The sponsorship includes personal appearances and financial contributions to help with equipment, facilities, and anything else they need. This is how it’s done 👏

There’s a certain kind of rapper, and I feel like it’s always the ones who came from the hardest circumstances, who look around one day and go “holy fuck, I’m rich,” and they decide their version of conspicuous consumption is going to be to use their wealth and influence to uplift others, in such a visible way as to make other people realize it’s necessary.

And like. It is very much a rapper-specific thing. Other musicians absolutely donate to charities or make statements of solidarity or work as paid spokespeople, but I can think of at least two other times I’ve seen exactly this (Snoop Dogg sponsoring and coaching Little League, and A-Kon personally funding wells and sustainable water projects in Africa and going there to help dig). They take out the middleman between them and the individuals they want to help.

I would LOVE to know why this is a thing in the rap community. Because if it was a thing in more communities of wealth, we would be so much better off, and I’d love to figure out how to translate it.
